Versatility is one of our greatest strengths and our products can be used in almost any interior environment. Being thinner and lighter than natural alternatives means they can often be installed where natural products can’t. Lower weight than ceramics, stone and wood also makes Karndean tiles and planks easier to install, with fewer health and safety implications.

What’s more, Karndean products can be installed faster than natural materials, meaning reduced downtime. Our customers appreciate how our products can be used to create unique designs with decorative strips and bespoke features – including inbuilt company logos. Where highly-skilled tradespeople would take a long time crafting these from natural materials, Karndean manufactures them offsite for quicker installation.

DEPARTMENT STORES The wide range of Karndean colours and textures makes it easy to vary the ambiance in different parts of highly trafficked stores. LEISURE RETAIL Classic and contemporary designs, durability and easy cleaning suit leisure retail outlets with their high footfall and long opening hours. With heavy footfall and shopping trolleys providing a demanding environment, high street retailers need to know that the floor they choose to install into their stores is going to be up to the task. Daily stock deliveries and hundreds of people through the door have put durability and ease of maintenance at the top of the agenda for high street retailer Poundland, when they come to specify the all important flooring for their stores. Providing attractive and practical floor coverings for the retail sector and beyond, Karndean’s hard-wearing flooring is now on Poundland’s shopping list of ‘must-have’ products for the next series of shop fittings. Opening approximately 65 new stores each year, Poundland has selected Karndean commercial design flooring for its two most recent projects in Andover and Rotherham. Karndean’s commercial flooring is quick to install, easy to keep clean and most importantly, offers highly durable wear layers to cope with even the busiest of shopping days for many years to come. “Karndean’s design flooring was recommended to us by our shop fitter.” Says Mark Roberts, head of store development for Poundland. “We needed a floor covering that would stand the test of time and look the part in our busy stores, whilst being easy for our staff to keep clean - Karndean’s flooring has ticked all of these boxes and more.” Karndean were also able to exceed expectations further by offering a traditional plank effect floor made to a bespoke colour specification that perfectly matched Poundland’s interior design scheme. Featured Product : Van Gogh | Wood | Auckland Oak | VGW52T 7 Mark continues: “We were really pleased to discover that Karndean could offer us the floor covering that we wanted in exactly the right colour. The bespoke service provided the perfect solution and the end product matched our criteria completely.” 8 Featured Product : Bespoke Poundland Product | Wood Client : Poundland Stores Product : Bespoke Contractor : North Wales Flooring Area : 412m2 Sector : Retail KARNDEAN FOR LEISURE AND HOSPITALITY CLASSIC AND CONTEMPORARY COLOUR, TEXTURE AND STYLE SET THE MOOD FOR LEISURE ACTIVITIES – WHILE SAFE PRODUCTS FROM AN ESTABLISHED FLOORING SPECIALIST HELPS LEISURE OPERATORS MEET HEALTH & SAFETY AND DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION ACT RESPONSIBILITIES.

LEISURE CENTRES With all the durability that high footfall reception areas demand, Karndean tiles and planks are perfect for heavily-trafficked leisure centre foyers. HOTELS From chic boutique accommodation to the traditional Grand Hotel, Karndean looks, style and performance enhance the warmest welcomes. When it comes to choosing flooring for a leisure environment such as beauty salons, specifiers need to strike a balance between practical considerations and aesthetics. With bold interior design, hair and beauty outlets need a floor covering that is tough enough to withstand footfall, whilst not looking out of place next to trend-led interior schemes. Karndean’s Oak Premier wood plank effect flooring in Midnight Oak finish has a dark, textured surface that suits the salons dramatic colour palette. With more salons in the pipeline, Angelic Rebels plan to use Karndean’s luxury design flooring as part of their ongoing shop fittings. Boutique hair and beauty salon, Angelic Rebels found the perfect solution for its new Kingstonupon-Thames store with dramatic dark wood effect flooring from Karndean’s new premium range, Oak Premier. Hard-wearing and easy to maintain, Karndean’s LVT ranges encompass stone, ceramic and wood effects that are sure to offer a colour and texture to compliment every kind of décor. What’s more, Karndean’s flooring doesn’t have the joins and grouting issues associated with natural materials, making it easy to sweep and simple to keep clean everyday. “With treatment rooms and a hair washing area we needed a durable floor.” Says Nicki Moon, Operations Director for Angelic Rebels: “It needed to be hard-wearing enough to withstand the traffic of a busy hair and beauty salon.” “Furthermore, we needed a floor covering that was going to compliment the rest of our striking décor. It had to be simply fabulous and add personality to the salon.” Featured Product : Art Select | Wood | Midnight Oak | HC06 Client : Angelic Rebels, Hair Salon and Beauty Rooms Contractor : Winton Flooring Ltd Sector : Leisure & Hospitality Featured Product : Da Vinci | Wood | Arno Smoked Oak | RP92 13 14 Product : Midnight Oak, Oak Premier (HC06) Area : 110m2 KARNDEAN FOR HEALTHCARE WHETHER IN A DENTIST’S SURGERY OR A MAJOR TEACHING HOSPITAL, KARNDEAN PRODUCTS SUPPORT SAFETY AND HELP DESIGNERS CREATE STIMULATING ENVIRONMENTS THAT PROMOTE PATIENT RECOVERY. Multifunctional areas make special demands – and work more effectively when defined by textures, colours and patterns. And of course, with hygiene so important, easy-to-clean Karndean fits the bill whenever high footfall combines with the challenge of private or public sector healthcare. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS HYGIENIC, PRACTICAL & SERENE With cross-infection, management of healthcare budgets and the role of environment in patient recovery as topical as ever, the value and performance of commercial flooring remains under the microscope. With such great aesthetics, cost-effective performance, a versatile range and easy cleaning, discerning designers of healthcare environments have chosen Karndean with confidence for years.

Natural-looking flooring offers stimulating alternatives to traditional ‘institutional’ materials – recuperative environments are easily designed with your expertise and our product range. CLEAN & HYGIENIC From resisting spills to avoiding dust and mites, Karndean tiles and planks contribute to cleaner, healthier environments from the day they’re installed. Our products all carry a low Volatile Organic Compound rating, and our adhesives are free of harmful emissions, and the avoidance of unhealthy dirt-traps between flooring elements. DURABLE Premature repair and refurbishment of flooring is the last thing patients and staff need in busy healthcare establishments. With their faster installation and proven durability, Karndean products are designed for a long, low-maintenance life and minimal interference with daily routines. In waiting rooms and children’s wards alike, durability and aesthetics go hand in hand on the road to recovery. ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE We believe that caring for the environment goes with caring for people. Hence our approach to flooring is based on using recycled materials and working closely with bodies such as the Building Research Establishment (our products hold a generic BRE Global Green Guide A/A+ rating*). We also supply low-VOC water-based adhesives, biodegradable floor care products, low-energy polymer manufacturing and recycled packaging too.

HOSPICE CARE A wide range of colours and finishes helps Karndean contribute to the special ambiance needed for caring hospice environments.

ZONAL DEMARCATION A range of contrasting products make it easy to lead patients between departments, distinguish different areas and guide the visually impaired. Without the cracks and grouting associated with natural products, Karndean’s commercial flooring is a highly hygienic option for hospital environments as it does not harbour dirt or germs. It is also extremely easy to maintain and has a simple yet effective recommended cleaning routine that has been specially developed to provide the best finish for the floor. Having installed Karndean’s floor coverings for the past 12 years, Sutton Hospital did not need to look any further when the next series of refurbishments came around. For the large reception area American Oak from the Da Vinci range was selected. The bevelled edges of this design help to reflect light and define each plank to enhance the overall atmosphere whilst a striking Star Feature was also installed to add an extra element of interest. The American Oak planks were then laid into the corridors to keep the flooring scheme consistent from ward to ward whilst the waiting room received a more dramatic makeover with Graphite tiles combined with a metallic silver design strip, also from the Da Vinci range. Finally, the Art block of the hospital, where patients enjoy therapy in inspiring surroundings, needed something special so Sutton Hospital chose the unique Catalonian Granite pebble finish, from the Michelangelo range, as the unique finish added a real element of interest to the floor. With such a varied collection of viable solutions for the healthcare sector, Karndean’s designs are guaranteed to offer style and substance whilst being easy-to-clean in such a hygiene aware location.

CALL CENTRES Lots of busy people, heavy footfall and thousands of seat-castor movements a day will test any flooring. Karndean products’ tough wear layers will meet the challenge. When Preston based RCU, a research and consultancy service for the education sector, came to refurbish their office, they needed to incorporate clever space saving ideas with storage and an informal meeting space, all within a modern and engaging environment. Using Karndean commercial flooring to create a special design feature which broke up the open plan space, office refurbishment specialists Whitespace designed an inviting, informal meeting area and bistro style kitchen with modern seating and coffee tables. Andy Wyn-Jones, Director for Whitespace comments: “The RCU team needed a multifunctional seating bay that could be used by staff on their lunch as well as for informal meetings.” “The office is spacious and lacked an obvious flow so we used Karndean flooring to create an eye-catching feature that would distinguish between the different areas.” Using Karndean’s popular Van Gogh range of wood style floor coverings, Whitespace selected Burnt Ginger for its unique distressed appearance and textured surface, RCU now has a stylish elliptical design flooring which adds character to the interior of the office and provides a durable, easy to clean surface. Andy continues: “Karndean’s flooring complements the rest of the interior design and is tough enough to withstand the daily wear and tear of a busy office.” Featured Product : Da Vinci | Ceramic | Alabaster | CC04 25 26 Featured Product : Van Gogh | Wood | Burnt Ginger | VG5-7 Client : RCU Contractor : Whitespace Consultants Ltd.

A case in point is Bengeworth First School, in Evesham, Worcestershire. A larger than average primary school, they decided to carry out renovations to improve the overall environment. When it came to choosing the specific type of new floor coverings, they had three key requirements to fulfil: natural finish, hardwearing and swift to install. Enter Karndean. Their hygienic, durable, quietunderfoot and easy to maintain commercial design flooring not only offered a wide range of realistic wood and natural stone finishes, it was guaranteed to withstand the wear and tear that schools are subjected to on a daily basis. The Van Gogh range was chosen as a costeffective and time-efficient option, as the large plank sizes ensured that the installation would be complete in time. Limestone tiles from the Da Vinci range were also fitted into some of the other classrooms because of the attractive yet robust finish. Ticking all the right boxes, the school’s new vinyl flooring from Karndean has certainly received a gold star of approval from pupils, teachers and cleaners alike.

Combine 19th century Victorian architecture with a former university, a pioneer for physical education and a famous English explorer of Antarctica and the popularity of the Lansdowne Villa’s suddenly becomes clear. Originally built in the 1880’s and forming a key part of the De Montfort University for the best part of the last century, the rich history of the 18 detached Victorian mansion houses has attracted a wealth of interest since being acquired by developers, Storey Homes. The sympathetic and contemporary redevelopment of these magnificent buildings has been hotly pursued by purchasers, who are able to choose their interior finishes from a carefully selected range of products, from the finest of manufacturers. For the floor coverings, Storey Homes looked no further than Karndean for superior quality luxury design flooring that would complement the sweeping hallways and traditional Victorian architecture. Karndean’s premium Art Select range is specifically designed for the most aesthetically demanding of projects. Perfectly replicating the beauty, geometry and craftsmanship of real hand-worked timber with bevelled edges and authentic graining and knot detail for a truly authentic finish.

ROUTINE CARE & MAINTENANCE General care and maintenance of your floor could not be easier: • Remove all loose debris from the floor by using a soft sweeping brush or dust mop and post “Wet Floor” signs (use at least two to indicate the area being cleaned). • Use a damp mop with the recommended Karndean Routine Cleaner. • Only use propriety floor cleaning products. DO NOT use bleach based products or washing up liquid. • Stubborn stains may be removed by spot cleaning with the recommended Karndean Routine Cleaner or Basic Stripper. • Attend to spillages immediately. • Liberally apply the cleaning solution over a manageable area using a clean mop, then rinse off the cleaning solution and leave to dry. • Thoroughly clean the mop with cold running water. • Once the floor is completely dry remove “Wet Floor” signs. • Karndean Routine Cleaner can be used with automatic cleaning appliances (eg. scrubbing machines). Do not use household cleaners on the floor for general cleaning unless they are specified for floors as they can often leave an oily residue which could make the floor slippery and lead to potential slip hazards. RESTORING YOUR FLOOR Over time and in high traffic areas, dulling may occur. To refresh your floor to its initial beauty and appearance follow these easy steps: 39 • Remove all loose debris from the floor by using a soft sweeping brush or dust mop and post “Wet Floor” signs (use at least two to indicate the area being cleaned). • Mix Karndean Basic Stripper with clean water in accordance with the label instructions on the container. • Apply stripping solution to the floor using a mop, working in an area no larger than 5m x 5m at a time. • Allow the solution to remain on the floor for approximately 10 minutes. (Do not allow the solution to dry on the floor). • Scrub the floor using a mop or a white scrubbing pad fitted to the end of an applicator. • Remove all residue with a mop and rinse the flooring using clean water. • If heavy build-up of residue is present repeat application process. • After the floor has dried, check that all stripper residue has been removed by running your hand across the floor. • All equipment should be cleaned in cold water and stored safely. • Apply undiluted Karndean Refresh Hard Sealer in a thin, even coat using a clean lint free mop (where possible avoid strong sunlight and draughts during application of Refresh and if installed ensure all underfloor heating is switched off before commencing work). • Working from the furthest corner from the exit and where possible parallel from the exit and parallel to the main light source (eg. window) apply the sealer using over tapping strokes until the whole floor is coated. • Allow the floor to dry for approximately 30 minutes (wait for the sealer to go dry to the touch, then allow a further 15 minute waiting period). • Apply a second coat of sealer to the floor, working in the opposite direction and where possible, perpendicular to the main light source (eg. window). • Allow the floor to dry for at least six hours or preferably overnight. • Thoroughly clean the mop with cold running water. • Once the floor is completely dry remove “Wet Floor” signs. To ensure the floor remains protected from marks and fine scratches, the Refresh Hard Sealer protective layer will need to be re-applied approximately every six months (depending on foot traffic levels). TROUBLE SHOOTING Scuff marks Cause: Friction from foot traffic across the floor surface. Solution: The floor should be thoroughly cleaned using Basic Stripper, and Refresh Hard Sealer reapplied if appropriate. This process should be repeated every six months, or as the volume of traffic dictates. Slippery floor Cause: Greasy residues on the floor / detergent residue – use of unsuitable or over concentrated maintenance products. Solution: Remove residue with absorbent paper then thoroughly clean the floor with diluted Routine Cleaner, repeat if necessary. Scratching Cause: Excessive grit or dirt on the floor. Solution: Ensure appropriate entrance matting is used. Karndean recommends a depth of at least two paces from the entrance. Sweep the floor frequently and ensure that the floor is dressed with Refresh Hard Sealer to provide additional protection for the floor. Streaky appearance Cause: Basic Stripper has not been removed properly / Irregular drying of Refresh Hard Sealer due to underfloor heating, strong sunlight or draughts. Solution: If used, remove the Refresh Hard Sealer with Basic Stripper, then thoroughly rinse the floor making sure all remains of Basic Stripper are removed. Poor appearance Cause: Incorrect cleaning products used / Use of dirty maintenance equipment / Refresh Hard Sealer applied to a dirty surface. Solution: Use only recommended cleaning products. Use Basic Stripper to restore the floor to its original appearance and reapply Refresh Hard Sealer if required. 40 TIPS FOR MAINTAINING YOUR KARNDEAN FLOOR All hard floors can be slippery when wet. Take extra care when cleaning and ensure the floor area is allowed to dry completely before use. During periods of wet weather, it may be necessary to put down extra matting to prevent water from being brought in from outside. • Mop up spillages as soon as possible to prevent spots becoming stains. Use of Karndean Refresh Hard Sealer should ensure better protection from most substances. • Use quality, non-rubber backed entrance mats approximately two paces wide to protect against grit and other substances from scratching the floor. Ensure they are cleaned on a regular basis to maintain their effectiveness. • Do not allow silicone-based products, (eg. polish or glass cleaner) to come into contact with the floor. These can make the floor very slippery. • Use only Karndean cleaning products. Other products may contain agents that can damage resilient floor surfaces. • Do not apply thick coatings of Refresh Hard Sealer. Two thin coats as per the instructions on the container will be sufficient or for high traffic areas, three coats may be necessary. • Do not slide or drag furniture or other objects across the floor. Use load bearing castors to protect against indentation from heavy items. • As with all resilient floorcoverings, prevent manmade rubber or latex material from coming into contact with the floor. Permanent discolouration of the floor can occur as a result. All Karndean’s surfactants are 100% biodegradable.
